Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0

Intended use:

This innovation is the foundation of Polygiene’s ”Wear More. Wash Less.” -mission. By enabling garments to stay fresher for longer, the technology allows for extended wear and significantly increases the number of uses between laundry cycles. Reducing the frequency of washing not only supports the durability and longevity of the garment but also contributes to a lower environmental footprint by reducing water and energy use throughout the product’s lifetime.

Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is an advanced odor-capture technology designed for a wide range of textiles, including high-performance sportswear, outdoor apparel, and everyday garments.

Product USP:

Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is an industry-first innovation that provides 24/7 active odor protection by targeting the four primary components of sweat-related smells: isovaleric acid, acetic acid, nonenal, and ammonia.

Unlike traditional treatments, it works effectively on challenging fabrics like 100% lightweight polyester. Its unique “capture and release” mechanism absorbs odor molecules during wear and releases them during laundering, effectively “resetting” the garment’s freshness without the use of heavy metals or PFAS. Furthermore, it is fully compliant for labeling and promotion on the Chinese market.

Fun facts:

By adapting environmental management science for textiles, Polygiene has created a non-metal and non biocidal solution that not only manages odor but also improves fabric handfeel without the need for additional chemical softeners.

End of use strategy:

Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is engineered as a non-intrusive, future-ready solution that does not alter a fabric’s comfort, breathability, or end of life. When the garment eventually reaches the end of its functional life, its PFAS-free and heavy-metal-free formulation ensures that the treatment does not interfere with standard textile recycling processes.
